Browsing through my Cabinets and Refrigerator, I came up with this for an at home Facial Mask for my dry skin.

You will need:2 Tablespoons of Oatmeal1/4 of a Banana1 Tablespoon of Honey 1 Tsp of Fresh Lemon Juice

1. Mix Oatmeal and the Banana, mush the banana with a fork or use a food processor if you like.2. Add the honey and Lemon juice.3. Mix, Mix, Mix :)--Note: If the mask is too runny for your liking, feel free to leave in your refrigerator for a little while to thicken if up.4. Apply to your face. I leave my mask on for 15-20 minutes and then rinse with warm water.

This morning, walking down the steps of my apartment and out onto the sidewalk, my clumsy self slipped and fell in the snow and I felt one of my rings fly off! I've searched the area of snow several times and to the point where I confused the postman (as he thought I was waiting for him). So long little silver ring, hopefully I still can find you when the snow melts.

If anyone in Lawrence, finds a silver ring in the snow that's a size 7...it's mine ;)

On account of my story above and the fact that many people I know are getting engaged...

My skin is so so dry, I can literally feel my skin peeling off my face when the cold Kansas wind hits it!

So I've looked up some home remedies for Dry Skin and thought I'd share...

Egg Yolk, Orange Juice, Olive Oil, Lime Juice:Prepare a fine mixture by adding 1 egg yolk, 1 teaspoon of orange juice,1 teaspoon of olive oil, few drops of rose water and some drops of lime juice. Apply this well prepared mixture on the face in the morning 15 minutes before taking bath. This is very useful home remedy for dry skin.

Banana:Mash a ripe banana and apply it on the face and neck. Leave it for sometime and then wash the face with lukewarm water. This is a best dry skin cure.

Cream, Rose Water, Lime (for Lips):For dry and chapped lips the best home remedy for dry skin is to massage lips with a little cream of milk by adding few drops each of rose water and lime juice every night before going to bed.

Grapeseed Oil:Massaging the skin with grapeseed oil is the best and effective method for dry skin.

Castor Oil or Avocado Oil:Dry skin remedy - In severe cases of dry skin castor oil or avocado oil is highly beneficial.Green Clay Powder, Raw Honey:Blend together 1 teaspoon green clay powder and 1 teaspoon raw honey and apply this well prepared mixture to your face, avoiding the eye area. Leave it on for fifteen to twenty minutes, then wash well with lukewarm water. This dry skin remedy is very simple and one of the effective home remedies for dry skin.

Dannon Light & Fit yogurt is currently one of my favorite things. I buy the packs where each yogurt cup is only 60 calories each and it's heavenly to eat!My favorite flavors are vanilla, strawberry banana and blackberry.

I used to eat Dannon vanilla all the time with a dab of pure honey and some granola. Maybe I will have to start doing that again ;)
